POLITICAL PRISONERS. – Twenty-one persons are now held in
“Castle Godwin” wither under direct charges of disloyalty, or under suspicion of
harboring hostile intentions against the Confederacy. We understand that efforts
are being made to obtain an additional prison for the safe keeping both of
disloyal parties and of prisoners of war. The tobacco warehouses at Rocketts are
deemed ineligible as prisons on account of their exposed position, which renders
a large guard necessary for the security of their inmates. They have been found
to be insecure in other respects also.
